Titanic, Prop 3rd Class Ticket

original movie prop

This is one of the tickets created for the various scenes when Jack (Leonardo DiCaprio) and the rest of the passengers are boarding the ship at the beginning of the film. Printed on the ticket, “Third Class (Steerage) Passenger’s Contract Ticket”. Important to note is that the ticket image is actually a mirror image (reversed). Because they only built the port side of the ship. Scenes showing the starboard side were flipped in post-production. As a result of this everything filmed for scenes on the starboard side of the ship, from lettering to the buttons on costumes, had to be backwards during filming. Consequently, many notices, signs, and props were printed as mirror images so that the film could be “reversed”. This prop ticket has been professionally mounted in a framed display by the J. Peterman Company and measures about 11.25 x 10.25. This piece comes with the original 20th Century Fox COA and the original J. Peterman shipping box.
